Frats damage Yugo during festive games

Bob Howard Auto Mall won't be interested in dealing with Central State University in the future, even if it means losing free publicity, said Todd Perrish, import manager for the dealership.

Perrish's comment stems from what he considers an unhappy incident which occurred between dealership representatives and Robert York, vice president of the Inter-fraternity Council at CSU.

According to Perrish, York came to the dealership requesting the donation of a car for a UniversityFEST event which would see how many people could cram into a Yugo automobile at one time. "I personally asked Bob Howard if we could loan the car," Perrish said.

Apparently, cars had been loaned in the past for various events—cars for parades—and Howard considered this good publicity for his dealership, Perish said. "The seats were taken out at the dealership, and there was a verbal agreement between myself and Robert that the car would come back in the same condition that it went out it was agreed that Robert would be responsible for the car," Perrish said.

When the car was returned to the dealership, Perrish said there were large dents on the hood of the car. "It looked like people had sat on it."

Perrish said when he called York for an explanation of the dents he couldn't get a straight answer.

Spring headcount falls 3 percent from 1989

Central State University students have 12,056 fellow classmates, according to the spring enrollment records Monday at 7:30 p.m., a total of 12,057 students enrolled. "Compared to the same day a year ago, we're down 386 students and that's about 3.1 percent," said Darrell Gilliland, acting director of admissions and records.

Gilliland expects approximately 13,000 students to be enrolled at CSU by the end of late enrollment. This figure is about 1200 students lower than enrollment in the fall semester. "We typically drop maybe eight percent from fall semester to spring semester," Gilliland said.

Cancellations of enrollment due to non-payment were slightly higher than normal. 1,196 enrollments were cancelled, although 277 of those people re-enrolled on the first day of late enrollment. A total of 533 people enrolled on the first day of enrollment, Gilliland said.

"I believe we'll enroll another 800 or 900 students, which would get us close to 13,000," Gilliland said.

Certain classes were unavailable to some students, Gilliland said. "We had far more students who have come to Central State Um

versity majoring in education. As a result of not increasing funding in education we don't have an adequate number of upper division courses."

There are some fairly recent changes in the enrollment process

Traffic control officer struck by automobile

While attempting to control unusually heavy traffic Tuesday, a Central State University police officer was struck and injured Tuesday by a car in front of the administration building, according to Captain Ron Cavin, public information officer for the Edmond Police Department. "Lieutenant Doris J. Dunn was struck at 9:30 a.m. by a 1984 Chrysler New Yorker driven by Sandra J. Hunter, 33 years old," Cavin said. "Dunn was transported by Amcare to Edmond Memorial Hospital, where she was treated and released for a badly bruised right leg."

Cavin said Dunn directed Hunter not to drive into the university parking lot, so Hunter then began to exit the parking lot. Dunn instructed Hunter to stop, but Hunter allegedly tried to drive around Dunn, and struck Dunn with the tire of her car.

CSU administration said Hunter is not enrolled at CSU. The CSU Campus Police said Dunn is expected to return to work on Wednesday.
